If a book or article is not available in the Library's collections, you can ask the Library to request it from other libraries on your behalf.
How to request a book or journal article that is not held by the Library.
How interlibrary loan (ILL) and document delivery (DD) work for external libraries that contact the Library.
The circulating loan service enables books to circulate between libraries that have joined the scheme. Readers can request the loan of a book held by any of the other libraries, free of charge, by contacting a library of their choice. The service includes the libraries of the University, the Istituzione Biblioteche del Comune di Bologna, the municipalities of Casalecchio and San Lazzaro, and the districts of the Bologna Metropolitan Area.
In this way, it is the books that travel, not the readers, within a large network of libraries.
